In Philippine mythology, the kapre is a creature that may be described as a tree giant, being a tall, dark-coloured, hairy, and muscular creature. Kapres are also said to have a very strong body odour and to sit in tree branches to smoke. Are kapre harmful?
Despite their appearance, Kapres are not dangerous and are friendly to humans, unlike the Aswang and Manananggal. They can be classified as pranksters, frequently making travelers become disoriented and lose their way in the mountains or in the jungles. They can be infamously known for their smoking habits.
